Democrito Zollo

Democrito Zollo (died 1503) was a cardinal of the Papal States.

Biography
Democrito Zollo was a cardinal under Pope Alexander VI and was loyal to the Borgia, delivering enciphered letters to the Followers of Romulus. In 1503, Zollo was sent to receive a key to the Lair of Romulus from the followers in exchange for supplying the Followers of Romulus with religious materials.

Death
The transaction of the key in St. Peter's Basilica was witnessed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an enemy of the Borgia. Ezio chased down Zollo through the basilica and cornered him on the roof. Zollo was pushed off of the building but was caught by his key necklace by Ezio. Zollo praised God that he was alive, but Ezio yanked the key off his neck and Zollo fell to his death.
